Because that's what the PowerPC binding says:
Open Firmware standard property. The value of the
is property shall be of the form: “PowerPC,<name>”,
where <name> is the name of the processor chip which
may be displayed to the user.

I don't care what Apple did in their device trees,
they made many mistakes.

It's on my todo list.

Yeah. There's also this ?? syntax now I believe.
